Last night’s 102-96 win over the visiting Toronto Raptors brought the Knicks back to .500, snapping New York’s nine-game losing streak to the kings of the North. It also dropped the Knicks’ magic number for some sort of postseason to 13. I’ve been recapping this team since 2014 and this is the first time the playoffs have been a thing worth looking forward to. For years now the Knicks have been a team others see on the schedule as a W. This season they’re defending their homecourt and fattening up on the league’s weaker clubs. The Knicks are now the ones seeing other teams as Ws.
